Undersold a tad, for our top performing wide player by a distance last season.
Fee less than Elanga, Gittens, Kudus.... he's better than all of them at present and 5 years remaining on contract.
Between the two of Madueke and Neto...
Neto is objectively worse, should have been out of the door first. Then again hard-pressed to find a buyer or market for the latter (outside of Saudi), whereas the former' outlay is more affordable.
Don't get me started on the abuse Noni been receiving in private and fatuous petition opposing the signing of Madueke from that lot - https://www.change.org/p/notomadueke?
Same ones that vehemently supported Partey all along! Without a single petition. Nasty work.

Classy club and fanbase apparently.
Madueke quite unfortunate

Nah, very good price for a player who we've already replaced with someone cheaper who's got a higher ceiling.
Marina approves of this business

Also he never stood a chance (politically) vs. Neto. He was a Vivell buy, had no protection. Neto's got the Jorge Mendes rub

Nkunku is a Vivell buy, yet he's been (rightly) favoured over Mendes client in Felix...

I like Noni but in the end he has little end product. I feel he is always moping around the pitch and shirks his defensive duties at times. I like his willingness to take on the defender, not enough wingers do this nowadays but he often tries one too many times and loses possession or doesn't pass when our players are in space or in better goal scoring positions. In the end, we get a 20m+ profit. He may well develop but at present, we need to balance the books for UEFA, and I hope we focus on a keeper and a central defender where we are extremely weak
